Sarah Wakefield (above) has been announced as Green Party candidate for the upcoming Makerfield by-election. Sarah is 38 years old, a mum with two young children, and a councillor on Manchester City Council. Currently on maternity leave as a charity director, she previously worked in retail with a focus on sustainable food and is a trustee of a community organisation.

On being announced as Green Party candidate, Sarah Wakefield said:

“I am proud to be representing the Green Party in the Makerfield byelection. It is vital in a democracy that voters are given a choice of who they want to vote for. Together we can bring back the hope that politics can create a better life for ourselves and our children. This is what the Green Party represents.

“We showed in Gorton and Denton we can take on and beat Reform, whose backward-looking and divisive politics needs to be challenged head-on with a message that the future can be better and fairer than the failed status quo. Don’t vote in anger, vote in hope.”
